Ab this is likely to be tbe case it is
the duty of the Republicau 'party to be
gin noTf to prepare for the contest. Our
house should be put in thorough order,
our armor burnished up, and our eyes
set firmly upou victory for our State
and Natioual organizations.
It will uot do for this country to be
turned over to the Democracy. The
mission of tbe Republicau party has uot
yet been fulfilled, and wo are quite sure
that it never would bo were tbe Demo
erats to attuiu to power just now. The
colored man needs to be better oducatcd
and made stronger in his power to pro
tcct tbe rights of his race, before turn
ing over this government to his enemies
Onco this is accomplished it will not'
matter so much whether there be any
party at all or not. The colored people
will then have become sufficiently euligh
tened to take caro of tbcinselvos. But
uow it behooves them to stand firmly
by the priuciplea of their party, aud see
to it that its banner shall not bo trailed
in tbe dust in cousequeuce of lethargy
on their part. Party Hues should bo
strictly drawn and none but faithlul
Republicans be put ou guard. Traitors
should bo driven from our ranks, aud
thus purified wo should continue stead -
fast in our devotiou to the party. We
should consider it a crime in a member
to'desert its organization upou any nb
struct question or in allowing bims.df to
become iudiffcrout iu cousequeuce of
tho disappointment of some petty ambi
tion. Iu this State we have every reason
for supporting the Republican party.
It has been shown by Gov. Chamberlain
that Republicanism is not inconsistent
with good Government, and that all
tho people prosper alike where the laws
are properly administered We do not
believe the latter would be tho case tin
dcra Democratic administration. Cover
nor Chamberlain has brought quiet out
of coniusion aud has done much towards
restoring tho credit of tho State, which
had been completely destroyed by his
jroi'igio and corrupt. predrcosfOr.

was elaborately discussed. The main
point of dillereuce bc|iug, whether to
e.ipet or censure. The vote was taken to
expel ?r&t. There were [10 votes against
expulsion, of these there were 4 Cou
servatives, myself among thorn, and
two of these were eminent Democratic
lawyers; in favor of expelling there were
112 votes, ihres ol these are Democrats,
tho remainder, 9 arc Republicans, two
were absent. It would have taken 22
votes to h&VO expelled. We were
expecting to voto on the resc.Jutioti to
censure the Senator. Ou this point
tl.ero was considerable dtcbate whether
to censure was equivalent to oxpul
sion or not. A few Senators thought it
w-is not. 1 took my part iu this de
bate, lavoring the resolution to censure,
and closed by haying, "if I err in this
vote I prefer to err on the side of mercy
and justice, rather than soil my con
science in aiding to fix infamy on a man
and his family on unsatisfactory
grounds." In the confusion of the d<
bate, this resolution was withdrawn, and
the Senate adjourned, and so no direct
voto was taken.

Well the New? ami Courier is brought
in this connexion. A word as to its
sayings. They have proved themselves
incompetent to make correct representa
tinea when I am in question. It makes
mo say that 1 knew tin t this pnpcr
woultl put at mc about tins vote. This
I did not say. as it wnj stated. I ex
pressed this idea, that if I had been the
only C?morvativo voting with the ma
j?rity, I would have a special notice,
but as there wore more I thought that
not much would be said. This was u
reply to u question asked me about it
by some one. It t?o turned out, ns usu
al, in a manuer to bIiow unfair feelings.
Hut of mo they expeot nothiug," of
course not. I have fully proved to them
before now that I could not dri'ik in
that unrolcnting bitterness which they
arc too ready to manifest against those
who ioour their displeasure. I see now
that they arc beginning to criticise and
censure tho Conservatives in some par
ticulars."

Editor Or avgehurr/ Neirs :
I sec in the Ncu s and Courier of the
510th of December 1874, a correspond
encc signed A M B, which pretends to
give a detail of a Tournament that caino
off on that day at tho lovely and pleas
ant little village of Hamburg. Now
Mr. Editor, I think, that the correspond
ent must have bad something in v;ew
more than some other persous who wit
nesscd the scene. I know for one that
it is in several instances wrongly rcpre
scntcd, for what purpose I do not know.
Perhaps the correspondent is one of the
fair sex and had gone there with tbe
exportation of being crowned Queen of
love and beauty. The correspondent
said that much di -satisfaction was
caused in tho awarding of tho first
prize, and that there was scar, e'y one pre
sent but who was fully convinced that iu
prize it belonged to the gallant Knight
ol tho West. Mr. Editor, this is a
mistake, for I am fully convinced that
the majority of the spectators were o f
opinion that the Knight of the flook
and Ladder was fully entitled to the
honor that was awarded him. Iu the
next place A M 15 says that in taking
the ride over on account of '..he twisted
track he took three rings. I say he
only rede 1 or the one and took it. Tha
judges then announced ntiebetwceu
the .two Knights viz : Hook and
Ladder aud the West. The next ride
decided the question, the Knight of the
Hook and Ladder taking all three rings
and the Knight of the West, I thiuk,
teok only one. Mr. Editor I canr.ot
think it possible that such honorably,
straight forward gentlemen, as tho
judges seemed to be, would be so much
biased n? to give an u just decision in
any mutter, especially buch an impor
tant one as that t/as. Mr. Editor,
allow me iu conclusion to give idy opin
ion why A M 11 attempts to try to
mistily the public and take the honor
from one Knight aud bestow it upou
another, and that is this : His (or her)
preference was so biased in favor of
that sociable, pleasant, loviug little
village, that he (or she) could not boar
for a Knight of Orangcburg County to
have the honor of bearing off the first
prize.

Numerous complaints with regard to the
Post Office under my control, having come
to my ears, it is duo to the public and to
myself that an explanation he mule.
On account of bail health, which disabled
cne, and on account of the loss of the valu
able services of Mr. J. S. Hull, whos system
and ability, ensured my respect and con
fidence in the entire managmenl of the
ofliee, 1 was obliged to obtain n
Deputy familiar with the routine of
business, and scouring Mr. Ezokicl, removed
the ?flicc to his store, that he uilgkl give
the more undivided attention to it.
Had Mr. Hull not received a better offer
than I could ntford to make I would still
have had his valued help. And had he
remained with mo I would not havo re
moved the ofliee. Had my own" health been
better, I might have Been less occasiou to
move the ofiice.
